Also Speaking of freebies. I laugh at oxymoronic names.
So, which parts would be expanding at the same rates in your engine? The Brass sleeve? The aluminum block? The 4140 Crank? Aluminum piston? Brass conrod bushings?
All those metals expand at different rates and temps. As a matter of fact, the Brass sleeve expands first as it's thermal density is the highest. Next would be the aluminum bits, then the steel crank.
Explain to me why ONLY the Car guys preheat engines? Heli guys place MASSIVE demands on motors and they don't preheat. Giant scale guys with 1200 dollar motors don't preheat...Only Car guys.
Oh and Black Sunshine was White Zombie's second song on his first album.
